Bloom Day List and A New Bloom

This picture of the crocuses is just a "decoy picture", something for you to look at for a minute while I build up your anticipation for seeing what bloom showed up in my garden today.

Are you ready?

Oh, wait, before you look at my new bloom, I have another surprise.

While viewing all the bloom day posts, I compiled a list of all the posts with links to make it easier to get to them.

So far there are 86 blogs on the list. If you posted for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and you do not see your blog listed below, it is an oversight on my part. Please let me know and I'll add you as soon as I read your comment or email letting me know. Likewise, if you find your link doesn't work, let me know.

And if you are posting about your blooms later, as I get your comment, I'll add you to this list.

Now, back to my new bloom...

The garden laughted today with a new blue bloom. This is Iris reticulata 'Clairette'.

All those green sprouts around her will be more of the same.

This view looking straight down shows a hint of gold on the petals.

I'm very happy to see these flowers.

And now...

The list of all who joined us for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day this month. Thank you all for sharing about your March blooms!

You missed me... but that's because I was late! My story--and I'm sticking to it--is that I was waiting to hear some flowers laughing outside like they are doing all over May Dreams Gardens... but I haven't heard any.

So I finally went and posted anyway. Here it is:http://blackswampgirl.blogspot.com/2008/03/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-march.html

Lucky you to have an Iris reticulata! I would've laughed too :) Your pretty little crocus are so sweet. I'm still waiting for mine!My post is up...a little late but we were out to dinner at a friend's house and the rest of the day was busy too. Do I need a note for being tardy teach?

Carol, thanks for giving us more blooms to view. That iris retic is wonderful. Must plant more of those, the list keeps getting longer, the bulb sellers are smiling! Thanks also for this list, it must have been a lot of work, the numbers increase so each month, with new contributors, new bloggers and people with something to show after a long winter, wonderful.

I really appreciate the way you have listed the GBBD blogs. It will be easier to see them all. I know I missed several and I want to see them all. I also like how you put where they are located. A lot of work on your part but much appreciated on my and I know everyone elses part.

I know from doing the GBGP just how much work it is to compile a list of links this way, Carol. So thank you for your enthusiasm and your hard work, as always. I know what I'll spend this sunny Sunday doing (too cold to work outside, but at least the snowstorm missed US for a change....)

Hi Carol - love all the giggles from your garden! I noticed how much more spring-like it seemed in Indy on Tuesday than here.I have been having fits with my internet connection as well as uploading pictures to Blogger, so I finally got my bloom day post up.

It took me HOURS and I'm so frustrated! I'm also so very behind with reading and commenting on others' blogs. Hopefully, things will go better with the connection today and I can get caught up a little bit.

Wow Carol, that must have taken you hours. Thank you! I was just looking at my stats and was curious to see why today I'd got so many referrals from MDG. Now I know.Hope you saved yourself enough time to do some gardening too :)

You & Stuart are duking it out for the James Brown garden bloggers' award (hardest working woman/man in gardening blogging). The list is a great idea - so much more convinient that having to open the comment box first. Thanks!

That was a great idea! I would have posted a bloom day picture, but since there are no blooms to be seen under all of my snow I had to take a pass at it this time. I enjoyed all of the posts that the rest of you made though!

Carol, I apologise for being late with my Bloom day entry. I was so excited though to have something to post this month.The iris is beautiful. I am going to look for some of these early spring bloomers!

Thanks again, Carol for doing this! I have posted TWO whopping days late. But there are many lovely blooms to see at http://www.sharingnaturesgarden.blogspot.com/I LOVE Clairette - she is so delicate - just like her name.

A little late but here's my March post! http://cultivatingparadise.blogspot.com/2008/03/garden-bloggers-bloom-day.htmlI spent the weekend admiring the beautiful azaleas in Houston. How I'd love to grow them!Thanks, Carol, for GBBD

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all and I hope wherever you are, your garden is all green or turning back to green today. I've been adding new bloom day posts to the list as I've gotten comments or found them through my feed reader.

We are up to 79 gardeners showing us what is blooming in their gardens in mid-March.

But the Internet world is BIG so there is room for more. If you are just know posting or have posted for bloom day about your blooms and don't see yourself on the list, let me know, and I'll add you.

Hey, Carol, it's the first time I've done a Bloom Day post; due to unexpected surgery last week, I didn't get the post done until this morning. The Sharing of the Green should occur in a timely manner in months to come. I look forward to meeting you and many of the other bloggers at GBSF.

What a great idea and terrific images, all! I hope I’m not too late to join Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day. My photos of Regent’s Park in London were taken on March 15, but I only post weekly. I can’t take any credit for the blooms but do enjoy them. Please add me to your list or click on the direct link below:http://blog.sarahlaurence.com/2008/03/london-art-and-gardens.html
